"You know, you have always been a weak link to the team, Deadlox."

"Yea, I don't even remember why we let you join our team."

"We don't need you on this team, go join the squids. Your as useless as they are."

I was on my knees, hunched over, my hands on my head and tears spilling out of my eyes. Sky, Ian, and Jerome looked down on me, not with pity, but with disgust.

"Sky? What do you mean?! I'm your best friend!" I stuttered, looking up at the guy who had been my best friend for years.

"Correction. You were my best friend. But now, I would recommend you get out of my sight." Sky growled. I hung my head, my long hair covering my face.

"Sky....you don't mean that...do you?" I asked quietly. He said nothing, but the expression his face gave his answer all too clearly.

"Don't you get what he's saying, Ty? Get out of here!" Jason said, pointing at the front door of the Sky Kingdom.

"Not you too Jason...." I said quietly.

"Get out! Or I'll get you out myself! Dead or alive!" Mitch said, pulling out his sword. I stood up, my legs shaking like crazy.

"What did I ever do to you guys?!" I cried, starting to back away from Mitch.

"You betrayed us Ty, you sold out critical information to the squids, and because of your stupidity, all of the recruits are dead. You killed them all." Jerome said flatly, giving me the death glare.

"I...I never would do that! You guys know me! I'm loyal! I am!" I pleaded.

"We thought we knew you Ty....but we were wrong." Sky said, looking over at Mitch.

"It's time for you to pay Ty...." Mitch said, a psychotic, killing type of glare forming in his eyes. Scared, I jumped to my feet, and ran for the door. I looked over my shoulder, and as I did, I crashed into the wall. I fell to the floor, dazed, and realized the door was somehow gone. I turned around and saw Mitch starting to corner me. I had my back against the wall, and I was shaking from head to toe.

"Goodbye Ty." Mitch said to me as he loomed over my shaking body. I gulped, and closed my eyes. There was a loud swish, and everything went black.

I sat up, breathing heavily. I was sweating, and my entire body was shaking. I pressed the heels of my palms to my eyes, and tried to calm down.

It's ok.....It's ok.....It was only a nightmare.....

I was still breathing heavily when I saw the handle of my bedroom door open. Sky came running in, still in his pjs.

"Ty! You were screaming! Are you alright?!" Sky asked, running over to the side of my bed. I nodded, still breathing heavily.

"Y-yea...." I said, trying to calm my breathing, "It..it was just a nightmare." I said, and Sky looked at me, worried.

"What did you have a nightmare about tonight?" Sky asked me, sitting down next to me.

I sighed, and started telling him the dream I had. Every detail I could remember. Sky listened intently, and when I told him about how I dreamt that he wasn't my friend anymore, I couldn't hold back the fresh set of tears. He wrapped one of his arms around me, comfortingly.
